I have different brand of usb hub with no lan port, just usb and sd card. At first it didn't work and my chromecast can't read my flashdrive. I then checked for update for chromecast and installed it. After that I tried to insert my flashdrive again and it works perfectly. For everyone who is encountering the same problem, maybe try updating your chromecast, it is located in the settings.
All you having trouble is related to the power, like he states his TV can run it most won't run correctly so make sure you get a power delivery port on your hub!
Hi everybody, I bought this USB-C Hub and it works fine with my Google TV Chromecast. Everythink works fine except that when I reboot the Google TV, I lost RJ45 ethernet connexion. I have to unplug and then plug in the RJ45 cable to restore ethernet connexion. Does someone have the same problem ? Could you try to restart Google TV to say to me ?
Has Google updated firmware or other software on the Chromecast to make it impossible to use with a hub? As of June, 2021, I get an insufficient power message when trying the set up Geek Street details here. I've tried several power supplies to an Anker 8-in-1 USB-C hub - nothing works. I can't help wondering whether Google is jumping on the Apple/Amazon/etc bandwagon by trying to limit users to _only_ the set up that Google wants.
You know its strange worked when i first used it but testing a few weeks later I started to get that issue and its still the same, something has definitely changed.
hi, when you connect this hub to google TV Chromecast it automatically sets the audio output as the 'aux' sound port on the hub and I cannot find a way in the settings of google TV Chromecast to change audio ouput back to the TV. Please help! otherwise using this hub is useless for playing video if you don't want to use that sound output port on the hub.
Hi, looking some advice as I m not getting any sound when I'm connecting this device with my Chromecast, ethernet is working fine but no sound at all? Thanks
@@GeekStreet your Alxum hub has the 3.5mm jack on it. Surely there should be a better way to re-assign the sound output in Google TV Chromecast; if not this is a huge downside which would have been good to know prior to buying the same Alxum hub - as I did.
My chromecast remote died after couple of months (phanthom key presses, constant unpairing). I tryed pairing xiaomi remote (not compatible), fire remote (no voice compatibility). I had to get the hub to connect generic android tv USB remote/air mouse. USB remote is fully compatible including voice commands. On the plus side now I have air remote on my chromecast. And it actualy looks like a remote, not a bar of soap.
I tried with the provided power brick connected to usbc hub with PD delivery and it complained about low power. Then I tried samsung fast charger and also in built usb c port on tv and stil didnt work. I dont get how the guy in the video can get it to work with just built-in tv usbc port.
@@barkanellichasingdreams4142 understand what you said. must most apps would not allow putting themselves onto the usb drive even the usb drive is formated as "internal storage"
Not only does it have to be FAT32, with it's limited partition size of 32gb and file size of 4gb, but it needs to be formatted by the Chromecast itself. Meaning you cant just pop any old thumb drive in there coz you'll have to make sure it was formatted on the device before you put any files on it to try and watch. Not a deal breaker but seriously limits the usability and really should be mentioned in any video claiming to unlock your Chromecasts potential.
No, it does not need to be formatted by Chromecast (then it formats to EXT4) I formatted a 32 GB pendrive to FAT32 on a laptop, copied some video files and they play fine on VLC

I got an anker USB c hub and no matter what charger I use it said it wasn't getting enuff power used a Samsung fast charger and the cromecast power brick
I bought a very expensive 60w fast charger and nothing. And in total i payed almost double on usb hubs and NONE worked. I could buy Shield pro, and i still have no usb conectivity. Based on Linus video i bought 2 devices and now i realised i was punked!
While copy a file to usb android msg 'not allowed'. Same as with android on phone, stnd android has no rights to write on usb. Need to root android tv? Again, what app can do this?
Got a question hope you guys can help me please? I've bought a Vention 8 in 1 USB docking Station and also bought a PD 65 watt charger. Chromecast is doing fine, however, all 3 USB ports, micro SD slot and it's adaptor, (haven't tried the HDMI port), and the the internet all won't run at all. Tried a different USB C wire too but no success. Any suggestions? Or fixes? ✌️
I bought a USB c hub and connected Connect it to my Chromecast TV and transferred files to a USB drive. It is so slow and playing the file app that is in the drive and it crashes. Is any recommendations. The whole purpose to buy the hub Is to have more internal memory in the Chromecast but the external memory slows down Everything that I open. My ports are 3.0
Hey there just supercharged my google chromecast but the problem I’m having there is no sound but sound come back if I unplug the card reader can anyone help thanks in advance
Not sure why no video ever mentioned this but this wont work for Hard drives and SSDs. The Max size is 32gb and the max file size is 4gb for any file you wish to play. I purchased all the items thinkijg i could play all my hard drives n nope. Apparently this has happened since Android 12 update which has ruined the Chromecasts capabilities in this field.
With a hub that works with google tv, can I use any power supply better than the Google one? Because as I heard: the google tv without a hub only wants it's own supplied power supply.
You can use any power brick like for me mine didn't work when plugged in the hub but once I used my phone charger (which had a lot more power) it worked
That happened to me too. No audio at all when using the dongle like in this video. Remove the dongle and the audio starts working again. Cannot figure out why! You ever get a fix?
Hey, thanks for the video!! Quick question: I've formatted my usb flashdrive through the Chromecast's feature, and my Windows version doesn't recognize it, asking to re-format the drive.. how can I fix this? Thanks!
It uses it's own encrypted file system format for recording/storing video streams I think. Just to prevent people from pirating them. It works in similar fashion as downloading Netflix episodes and Spotify playlists on your phone for watching/listening them offline, but they are stored in some encrypted/scrambled file formats you can't just copy to your PC and use.
If you search for disk managment the flashdrive should appear there. Then you can delete the partitions that it has and add a new one with NTFS or what you want
The video fails to inform WHICH is the speed reached by the wired connection. Must hubs do not exceed 90 Mbps, instead of the advertised 480 Mbps for a USB-C connection.
This USB c isnt not compatible with the Chromecast for Google TV. It will not migrate data with this hub, and you cannot show it. The Anker usb c hub is the one i now know is compatible with the Chromecast for Google TV. Wish all well😉

Unless it's changed recently, the USB memory stick has to be FAT32, which means files size can't exceed 4GB. Not much good for a 4K movie.
That's good to know and kind of a dealbreaker.
